Bartlesville, OK. - Ascension St. John Jane Phillips was recognized as one of the Top 20 Rural Community Hospitals in the country by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). In addition, Jane Phillips was also named an iVantage Top 100 Hospital for the third consecutive year.
NRHA announced the 20 highest-ranked rural prospective payment hospitals in the country based on an evaluation by the Chartis Center for Rural Health using ivantage health Analytics Hospital Strength index.
